I don't have much experience but perhaps I can be helpful. I tow an Albin Vega 27 with about the same displacement as a 25D. I've got an F-250 with a gas engine, 3.73 ratio axles, and most important, a 6 speed automatic transmission with so-called tow/haul mode. Part of tow/haul is real engine braki...

Re: Looking to buy a replacement chartplotter
I don't have a chartplotter recommendation but have had recent experience with Garmin product support. I've got a GPSMap 78sc and trivial experience with it as a marine GPS.

What body of water are you going to be on? Our thoughts center on the lower Chesapeake, perhaps the middle neck. Which side? Deltaville is worth looking into, I know there is a couple good yards there that fit the description I gave above. Actually Deltaville is where we were looking. When I first ...

Choice of a Yard
I am completely new to boat ownership and have no idea of what to look for in a boat yard. I do know that I want to do most work myself. I am wondering what you folks find important.
